The tomb of Tansen is built in the early Mughal architectural style and is surrounded by lush gardens in typical Mughal style. It is built very next to the tomb of Muhammad Ghaus. When compared with other architectural wonders in this place it is very simple.
Every year a national level music festival is organized here in November/December.Next day morning we proceeded from Gwalior to our next destination Shivpuri.
Distance: Gwalior ---> Shivpuri 114 kms
The way the culture of India took shape incorporating various the races that landed on her shores is indeed amazing. Who says India is a Hindu country!
